i couldn’t possibly prepare enough for you. i tried. but how was i to know whether the pictures i drew of you on my heart would measure up to these pictures i now make of you? right now your body takes up such little space. but you will grow into it quickly. it has only been six days and already your existence fills up every inch of our home making it swell with abundance. even if i had wanted to, i never could have prepared myself for this feeling of plenitude.
